Frequently asked questions
Does this clamp minimize damage to delicate vessels?
Yes, this instrument features an atraumatic design specifically for sensitive vascular procedures. The jaws are equipped with 2x2 rows of fine, atraumatic teeth that run the entire length, providing a secure grip while significantly reducing the risk of trauma to delicate vessel walls.
Is the stainless steel durable enough for repeated sterilization?
Absolutely. This clamp is constructed from high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel. It is fully designed for reuse and is engineered to withstand the rigorous, repeated sterilization processes required in clinical environments.
Why is the unique basket-shaped jaw design beneficial?
The specialized, double-angled curvature of the jaws creates a basket shape that is essential for precise anastomosis applications. This geometry allows surgeons to control blood flow in critical vessels like the aorta, carotid artery, and inferior vena cava while maintaining optimal access and visibility during the procedure.
Are there latex components in this instrument?
No, this Sklar Cooley-Derra Anastomosis Clamp is completely latex-free. It is not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is safe for use with patients who have latex sensitivities or allergies.
Does this clamp come with CensiTrac marking for asset management?
Yes, this specific model includes CensiTrac marking. This feature allows for streamlined tracking and inventory management within medical facilities that utilize the CensiTrac system.
How do I ensure consistent tension during surgery?
The instrument features a reliable ratcheted, finger ring locking mechanism. This design allows the surgeon to easily adjust and maintain the desired level of tension, providing consistent and stable control of blood flow throughout the procedure.
Is this clamp compliant with high manufacturing standards?
Yes, it is TAA Compliant. Additionally, it carries the ‘Sklar’ or ‘Grade’ quality designation, indicating that it adheres to strict manufacturing standards expected of professional surgical instruments.
Are the jaw tips designed for safety?
The jaw tips are blunt and rounded. This design choice is intentional to prevent accidental puncture or damage to surrounding tissues, ensuring safer manipulation within the surgical field.
Is this the medium size variant?
Yes, this product is the medium size variant, which measures 7 inches in length. It is a precise length chosen for balanced control and maneuverability during vascular interventions.
Does it require specific care after usage?
As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be processed according to your facility’s standard protocols for stainless steel surgical instruments. Because it arrives non-sterile, it must be properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized before its initial use and after every subsequent procedure.
